If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp., then so is chief executive Michael Koss, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

In a suit filed last week, the bank argues that if a jury finds Park Bank liable for the loss, then Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, the firm's former auditor, should have to pay some of the award.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," Park Bank wrote in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss in this case those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(3)

Green Bay - When you allow a guy to catch 13 of the 17 passes thrown his way for 208 yards and a touchdown, the next time you play him you better have a plan.

The Packers are hoping they have a good one for Anquan Boldin Sunday.

Boldin ripped the Packers secondary apart with four catches of 20 or more yards, including a 30-yarder and a 40-yarder during the San Francisco 49ers' 34-28 victory on opening day.

The Packers' primary focus was taking away QB Colin Kaepernick and the read-option as well as tight end Vernon Davis, but they were only successful in one area: Kaepernick had seven carries for just 22 yards rushing.

In the passing game, not only did Boldin have a huge day, Davis chipped in six catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

When the two teams meet in a wild-card game Sunday at Lambeau Field, Kaepernick and Davis will be on their radar again, only they've got to come up with a plan to contain Boldin, the 6-1, 220-pound receiver who was named the team's most valuable player of 2013.

Playing in their favor is the fact that CB Tramon Williams is back to playing the kind of football that landed him a big contract after the 2010 season and before he suffered nerve damage in his shoulder in 2011. Ever since the New York Giants game Nov. 17, he has been covering and tackling much better.

"I think Tramon’s play has increased since the New York game," cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said. "From the New York game to this game, everybody always asks me about the 2010 Tramon. That’s what you’re seeing. He played no better in 2010 than since the New York game. That’s what he is. That’s what everybody has been waiting for."

Whitt said you'd have to ask Williams what changed, but he said one thing Williams told him after that Giants game was that he wasn't dwelling on mistakes that he made or were occurring around him.

"He doesn’t worry about anything else but that play and that’s what I asked him after the New York game and we were sitting in there, he said he just worries about that play," Whitt said. "I just let him go. He’s played extremely well since then."

Williams wasn't giving up a lot of touchdowns, but he was allowing his share of receptions of 20 or more yards - roughly six in the first eight games. His tackling, which had slipped since 2010, wasn't all that good either.

In his defense, he was being forced to play a different position because of the injury to slot corner Casey Hayward. Rookie Micah Hyde was seeing time there, but he wasn't playing well enough and defensive coordinator Dom Capers went with Williams inside and Davon House outside in the nickel package.

Then, perhaps in response to the Packers losing two straight without Aaron Rodgers, or a return to his left corner position, Williams started raising his level of play. He completely shut down the Giants' Hakeem Nicks, who given is an aging and hobbled receiver who isn't what he used to be. But he also flew around the field and finished with eight tackles.

He also picked off his first pass of the season.

He had another interception two weeks later against Atlanta and then a key one in the comeback against Dallas. In the meantime, he wasn't shying away from any tackles, totaling 46 in the last seven games, including nine solos in the Cowboys game.

The best example of his committment to tackling last Sunday was a run play against the Bears in which OLB Mike Neal inexplicably left his spot and RB Matt Forte had a chance to break out for a long run. Williams came in chopped down Forte with a flying body block to limite him to a 6-yard run. He made a similar stop on a quick pass to WR Alshon Jeffery that looked promising for the Bears.

"He’s tackling as good as he’s tackled," Whitt said. "He’s getting the ball, he’s covering. Everybody’s been asking, will he get back to that 2010 form. Well, this is how he looked in 2010."

Williams did give up a 5-yard touchdown to Brandon Marshall in the Bears victory, but it was an outstanding pass and catch.

On Sunday, it will depend on the 49ers as to how much Boldin he sees. If Boldin lines up on the offense's right side, Williams will take him. If he lines up left Sam Shields will take him. And if he's in the slot Hyde will take him.

At least the Packers know they're better equipped to handle him than the last time.
